Qld: Jobs Rally Today



Date: Wed 27 February 2013
Time: 11.30am-12pm
Place: The Sofitel, outside the main entry 
(beside the driveway), Turbot Street

Premier Campbell Newman is slashing public services and sacking public sector workers left, right and centre—all in the name of servicing a debt he has consistently misrepresented.

Now, Mr Newman’s Liberal National Party is holding $200-a-head fundraising lunch to announce the government’s health privatisation and outsourcing policy.

The Newman government’s intentions are crystal clear. It has already started closing or selling publicly-owned aged care assets in direct violation of a pre-election commitment not to sell any assets without an electoral mandate.

The latest proposed asset sale is the Yaralla Place nursing home in Maryborough. Fears are mounting that the state’s five electricity industry companies will be next to go.

If Campbell Newman thinks Queenslanders will allow their public assets to be dismantled like this, he is in for a big shock.

Join in for a mass rally outside the fundraiser to protest against the Newman government’s cuts.
